What if the biggest breakthrough in women’s health this decade is the long overdue reversal of a warning that never should have existed in the first place?
In this timely episode, Dr. Cassie Smith sits down with hormone expert and healthcare reform advocate Dr. Terri DeNeui, DNP, APRN, ACNP-BC to unpack the FDA’s landmark decision to remove the black box warning from estrogen containing HRT. For the first time in over twenty years, science and policy finally align, creating safer and more accessible options for millions of women.
Dr. Cassie and Dr. Terri break down what the original research actually showed, how estrogen became unfairly feared, and why the updated guidelines are long overdue. They explore the benefits of estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone for women, clearing up misconceptions and highlighting the need for better hormone education among providers and patients.
With clinical insights and decades of experience, this episode reveals the truth about hormone therapy, why women have suffered needlessly for two decades, and how the removal of the black box warning can reshape the future of women's health.
